1.0 out of 5 stars Guilt by Association, but No Science, 4 Jan 1998
By A Customer
According to the author's Acknowledgements, this is his first work in the library-bound field of the History of Science after leaving a career as a clinical psychologist and "many years of frustration" with Jung. So it's strange that the one subject that's absent from the book is psychology! What constitutes psychology? How does the field advance over time? What were Jung's contemporaries in the field doing? How do you test a good psychology in a scientific way? Noll doesn't approach these questions. Instead, the essence of Noll's argument is: Jung read Neitszche, the Nazis read Neitzsche, therefore Jung was a Nazi. As are all Pagans, Unitarians and all Germans. (In fact, the book more than verges on anti-German racism.) I guess Noll's virulence is a left-handed compliment to Jung and his work; Jung must have discovered something powerful. But the book does nothing for science. In spite of all the footnotes, this book is not much more than sensationalism and spite.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very well documented book, 14 April 2000
This review is from: The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement (Paperback)
Reading Jung seven years ago introduced me to psychoanalytical theories for my PhD, as well as to a psychoanalyst. I read many books from Jung that are easily avalable in bookshops or through ordering (in opposite to what the formal critics of Noll's book pretends, at least in France). Even if I, and many friends, were fascinated by Jung, the strength of his experiences, what seemed to be their authenticity, it seemed strange that this person was so wise, defaultless. Reading about his relationship with Spielrein gave me some hint that Jung was far less honest than he pretended as nothing was mentioned in his autobiography about it. This lead me to read this book and I found it very well documented, consistent with the autobiography and Jung thoughts presentation.It makes the historical background of these thoughts understandable and highlights their limits (eg, anthropological points of views that have been largely contested by the ehtnologic researcb). Noll is very honest in the sense he does not negate what scientific material Jung brought to psychiatric and psychoanalytic research before he built the project to turn psychoanalysis into a religious movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 15 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Finally! At last! At LONG last! An honest book on the Jung legacy and its dubious intellectual origins, long pretensions, and vigilant eye on the cheque! Thoughtful critiques of Jung and the ferocious industry which he inspired are few and far between, dominated by little Jungian vanity presses which are more interested in drumming clients for their promised land of "individuation" than in advancing psychological thought. To this, the Jung_Cult adds meticulous historical detail and a refreshing dose of honesty. If you are interested in Jung, read this book!
